End of the month so time to reflect on the stats for running and cycling during Nov, a month which has seen an increase in both, reflecting period of feeling well and friendly weather. Total of 207 miles, 118 on the bike. I did 5.25 miles running this morning and 5.5 miles riding down to Joy's and back to check the meter readings ahead of her fuel bill.
We took tea down to Bridie's on Friday evening and enjoyed the Christmas decorations she and Joseph had been putting up after school. The photo is of Joseph by the tree which has plenty of flashing lights. Our tree and decorations went up on Saturday, helped by Evie and Ameila who spent the day with us and can be seen looking out for a returning Granny and Bridie who had gone to Bournemouth to collect Bridie's new car.
The garden is looking in pretty good nick and we planted some additional hedging along the front, dog rose, crab apple, hornbeam, rowan and a shrub I forget the name of just now. Parts of the existing privet have died away and we wanted to restore the hedge using more interesting, native and nature friendly trees and shrubs. We already have hawthorn which is great for the birds and hopefully we'll be seeing more fruits, berries, hips and apples, for the birds, small animals and insects to feast on through the autumn and into winter. Fingers crossed.
